What I Liked...

What I Liked...      

      What I liked about the paragraphs from page 490-491 was the way Death was describing the way he saw Rudy and Liesel react to the dying pilot. I liked the way he was talking about remembering Liesel from the train ride where Death took the soul of Liesel's brother. Death also mentions that Liesel knew he was there at the scene of the dying pilot but she did not try and fight him off.  How do you think Liesel noticed Death if nobody else did? Why do you think Liesel do not fight away Death?

Till Death do us Meet
Words and phrases taken from The Book Thief

You are going to die.
At some point in time,
I will be standing over you
your soul in my arms
I will carry you gently away
a color perched on my shoulder. 
The question is
what color will everything be 
when I come for you
I try to enjoy every color I see
a billion or so flavors
personally I like a chocolate-colored sky
I vacation in increments
in colors
why do I need a distraction
the survivors
they're the ones I can't stand to look at
I am Death
but now and then,
I witness the ones who are left behind.
